070: Cate Luzio On Pivoting from Executive to Entrepreneur and Launching Luminary

On this episode of Gen X Amplified, we are back for another Fireside Chat edition, featuring my conversation with Cate Luzio —who is the Founder and CEO of Luminary , a membership-based global education and professional networking platform for women and their allies. And Cate is also one of the shining stars I previously featured in the Spotlight Series on LinkedIn. About Cate Luzio Cate is the Founder and CEO of Luminary , a membership-based global education and professional networking platform for women and their allies, which she launched and self-funded in 2018. Luminary's mission is to address the systemic challenges impacting women across all industries and sectors—while also up-lifting, up-skilling, and propelling women forward through all phases of their professional journeys. Members of Luminary reflect a multigenerational and intersectional community of intrapreneurs, entrepreneurs, and organizations including UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Unilever, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, Mastercard, and others. As CEO, Cate achieved a significant milestone for the business as Luminary recently announced their acquisition of The Cru, the enterprise peer-coaching service founded by Tiffany Dufu that places women in small accountability cohorts. And Tiffany also happens to be one of the phenomenal leaders previously featured in this Spotlight Series. Prior to launching Luminary, Cate cultivated a two-decade successful career as a financial services executive leading global multibillion-dollar businesses. Most recently, Cate served as Global Head of Multinational Corporate Banking for HSBC, where she managed more than 2,000 employees worldwide. Prior to HSBC, she was Head of Multinational Corporate Banking at J.P. Morgan EMEA based in London. Cate initially began her career in China working in tech and then relocated to Latin America with Bank of America to work across both consumer and wholesale banking. No stranger to reward and recognition, Cate was named as American Banker's 'Most Powerful Women in Banking' multiple years in a row, and is a three-time Financial Times Global Diversity Champion, and a two-time Yahoo Finance Diversity Hero. Cate also serves on the National Board for Girls Inc., is a WE.NYC mentor, and sits on the Boards of Pomp & Whimsy and WaterAid. Having pivoted from a notable career as a financial services corporate leader to become a fearless force championing women in the workplace, Cate stands as a testament to transformative leadership.
